#MerriamWebster announced an additional definition for #they: a third-person, singular pronoun for #nonbinary people. And Oxford has been criticized for its entry under “woman.”
"That the oldest #dictionary publisher in the United States has added its imprimatur to this meaning of the pronoun could be seen as a powerful statement about evolving understandings of #gender #identity.
Or it could be seen as something much more elementary: a reflection of #changingtimes."

ukpol meets The Incredible Hulk
Yesterday, unelected PM Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson likened Britain to the Hulk, bound in EU shackles.
“[i]Hulk always escaped, no matter how tightly bound in he seemed to be - and that is the case for this country. The madder Hulk gets, the stronger Hulk gets[/i]”
(Further reading:
“Planet Hulk”, where Hulk gets launched into space because he is deemed too dangerous to stay on Earth at all, and its followup storyline, “World War Hulk”.)

Also #Brazil:
Rio's fascist mayor Crivella attempts to censor a gay kiss in Marvel's Avengers, which gloriously backfires.

Some old photo reference collages for tricky comic panels. These still make me laugh.

Computer brands used in comics
Let me know if you have suggestions for ethical brands I should feature in future chapters!
Computer brands used in comics
In my comics I try to be mindful about what kind of computer brand/OS/app I draw on the pages.
The default of too many colleagues is to depict a computer by drawing an apple on a square - or a pear if they want to appear funny/critical.
Well it's not critical, it's still an ad, and an unpaid one at that.
Don't get me wrong, there might be stories where it's fitting for the character to use a Mac, but mostly it's just a mindlessly repeated code. 🐑 🐑 🐑
@fuyuhikodate FNTI ist am Mittwoch im WestGermany - heute kann jede_r kommen, der Veranstaltungsort ist nur ein queer space.

@Erdrandbewohner Die aktuelle Landschaft 'ethischer' Smartphone-Alternativen ist eine einzige moralische Fangfrage:
"Möchtest Du lieber den Globus abfackeln (Sailfish auf Sony devices) oder die Demokratie abschaffen? (Android auf dem #Fairphone3) 😬
[Was nicht die großen Verdienste beider Unternehmen schmälern soll...]

Der größte Blutspendedienst in Bayern hat massenhaft Gesundheitsdaten an Facebook gesendet. Angaben zu HIV, Schwangerschaft, Drogenkonsum oder Diabetes könnten dort nun profilbezogen gespeichert sein. Für die SZ hab ich die Datenpanne aufgedeckt.

Art Spiegelman: golden age superheroes were shaped by the rise of fascism.
Read the essay that Spiegelman published in the Guardian after Marvel reportedly asked him to censor a section that referred to our current president.
